Along with the details of his birth and early life, this book gives the descriptions of his travels with people like F.E. Younghusband, Lord Dunnmore, Major Roche, Phelps, Church, Littledale, etc. The book is written in the kind of English that the author spoke: grammatically incorrect, but at no loss of information.
